Samtec Announces Release of New VITA 74 VNX Compliant Products

Press Release (ePRNews.com) - NEW ALBANY, Ind. - May 09, 2018 - As an ANSI/VITA member, Samtec, a privately held $713MM global manufacturer of a broad line of electronic interconnect solutions, proudly supports the release of the new ANSI/VITA 74.0-2017 Small Form Factor Base Standard. VITA 74, also referred to as VNX, defines both the mechanical and electrical standards necessary for a small form factor (SFF) system.

Designed for deployment in rugged environments, VNX systems provide rapid serial fabric interconnects in a plug-in module format. These systems also feature improved size, weight, and power (SWaP) characteristics, crucial in an embedded system.

Samtec’s SEARAY™ right-angle connectors are featured in the VITA 74 base standard, which specifies 12.5 mm and 19 mm stack height plug-in modules. SEARAY™ right-angle is capable of speeds up to 25 Gbps, provides low insertion/extraction forces, and also features solder charge terminations. This connector was chosen based on its successful performance in the VITA 57.1 FMC Standard, as well as its high-speed capabilities and rugged design.

The release of the ANSI/VITA 74 VNX Standard provides system designers with the ability to extend proven VPX technology into smaller form factor systems. Through the use of the proven Samtec SEARAY™ connectors, the Standard supports current generation rapid serial fabric interconnects such as 3rd Generation PCI Express®. Given the outstanding SEARAY™ performance, the Standard is ideally positioned to support future generation fabrics as they become entrenched in the rugged embedded system marketplace.
